If you aren't familiar with Ousmane Sembene, Senegalese filmmaker and "father 
of African cinema", I hope you will become so although his films aren't easy to 
obtain. His latest film, "Moolade",  won two awards at 2004 Cannes. Semebene,  
81, a former dockworker, trade unionist and member of the French Communist 
Party until the independence of Senegal in 1960, has written novels and written 
and directed at least a dozen movies spanning 40 years.
